Steps:
- To make slaw: Toss the cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper and half of the scallions with the dressing. Let sit for 15 minutes, toss again and transfer to a large serving platter.
- For pork: Mix together marinade ingredients (listed with pork). Toss the pork with 1/2 C of the sauce. Reserve the rest. Marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator or 25 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat 2 T canola oil in a heavy 12" skillet over a med-high flame until shimmering hot. Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off the excess, and transfer the pork to a clean plate. Discard the marinade and add half of the pork medallions to the skillet, spacing them evenly. Cook them without touching until well browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the pork is just cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Set the pork on top of the slaw. Pour out the oil and wipe the pan with paper towels (if the drippings on the bottom of the pan look like they may burn, wash the pan). Return the pan to medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 T canola oil and cook the remaining medallions in the same manner. Top the slaw with the remaining pork and pour the reserved sauce on top. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the rest of the sliced scallions, and your choice of garnish.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork medallions are evenly cooked, slice them to a uniform thickness of about 1 inch.
- To achieve a crispy outer layer, sear the pork medallions in a hot skillet until golden brown.
- Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the pork medallions; cook until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- Allow the pork medallions to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving; this helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- For a bolder flavor, marinate the pork medallions in the flavorful marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Serve the spicy pork medallions with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
- Experiment with different spices and herbs to create your own unique flavor combinations.

Spicy pork medallions are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
